Last week we heard about the USB Flash Drive Lock which attached to any USB drive effectively locking your data away. Now we have the Aegis Padlock which adds encryption and a keypad to the mix.

The Padlock has a 12-digit keypad as standard on the front of the drive. Up to ten users can be setup with their own pass code and all data stored on it can use either 128 or 256-bit encryption. Better yet, no software is required to use the drive which comes in 250GB, 320GB, or 500GB capacities, has a built-in USB cable making that one less thing to carry, and has a 16-point omni-directional shock mounting system for protection.

The drive is compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux, and easily fits in your pocket or bag measuring only 19mm X 84.5mm X 120mm and weighing just 5.5oz. The padlock is powered over USB and is supplied with a Y-auxillary power cable for this purpose. Pricing ranges for $99 to $159 depending on the storage size and encryption you choose.
